Who owns the Central Banks ?

Below comes from the official FED web site. Red italics are mine.

The Federal Reserve System fulfills its public mission as an independent entity within government.  
It is not "owned" by anyone and is not a private, profit-making institution.( not profit making? what about 6% divident below?)
As the nation's central bank, the Federal Reserve derives its authority from the Congress of the United States. It is considered an independent central bank because its monetary policy decisions do not have to be approved by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branches of government, it does not receive funding ( it prints it ) appropriated by the Congress, and the terms of the members of the Board of Governors span multiple presidential and congressional terms.
However, the Federal Reserve is subject to oversight by the Congress, which often reviews the Federal Reserve's activities and can alter its responsibilities by statute. Therefore, the Federal Reserve can be more accurately described as "independent within the government" rather than "independent of government."
The 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks, which were established by the Congress as the operating arms of the nation's central banking system, are organized similarly to private corporations--possibly leading to some confusion about "ownership." ( can it be more direct? ) For example, the Reserve Banks issue shares of stock to member banks. However, owning Reserve Bank stock is quite different from owning stock in a private company. The Reserve Banks are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount of stock is, by law, a condition of membership in the System. The stock may not be sold, traded, or pledged as security for a loan; dividends are, by law, 6 percent per year.

Hang on: not operated for profit! But for every share or stock or money issued given to other banks or government it earns 6%. So, it prints money, releases credit in the market by a stroke of a pen, gives it to others to use and demands at least 6% divident or interest for it. Solid business.

The statement still does not clearly say who actually owns the FED, and for that matter any other central bank. Member banks or top bankers?

Chuck Prince, CEO of Citibank, said in 2007 - after a 25 year bull market BOND market, basically adding debt upon debt in the market, "As long as the music keeps going, we can continue this fraud"

Sounds a bit like all the feeders and investors who took money from others and pumped it into Bernie Madoff Ponzi sceme...hey the music plays...keep going.. when will it all bust?

Mike Maloney on Gold's Checkmate and Ben Bernanke's role as the Pawn!

In general, I do not allow main stream media propaganda by politicians
and or financial engineers to dictate me lies and misinformation to serve
filling their own wallets and empty million others.

One alternative is to learn from guys who know basic truth about
finances, precious metals, etc..

One of these is Mike Maloney. Advisor to Robert Kiyosaki, author
of the most successful financial book in history, Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Watch his below recent interview on the FED's monetary policy and
what we can expect in the near future..
